Reversed Disruption...

Sometimes, I wonder if progress only brings positive changes. We are all looking for the next best thing- that new phone, new car and new technology… Sometimes, so swept up in all this we forget the human element.

The recruitment industry, amongst many, has been widely affected by new technology and innovation. But was it all in good faith?

According to some researchers, only 20% of CVs are being read by a human being. Don’t get me wrong, algorithms and efficient database filtering services certainly make things more efficient, but how can you put a number on somebody’s core values, principles, culture or emotional intelligence?

CVs are being filtered by keyword searches and candidates are found on a “best match” basis reducing some of the recruitment agencies to order pickers/number finders basis.

At Victor Jefferson we recruit “old school”.

First and foremost we build relationships, nurturing them and working on personal level to place our candidate, our friend and colleague, in the best job for them, their family and their life goals.

Culture, core values, aspirations trump key word matches. Every. Single. Time.

Dreams of the next great job pave our daily existence.

It is time we said NO to this innovation. We rebel and live by our reversed disruption. And guess what? We are doing just fine.

But most importantly, so are YOU. Our candidates. Our clients. Our business family.
